news archive
Posted by Anubis on Friday, October 28 2011
I'm pleased to announce that the SSX News Archive is now publically available, accessible through a link in column to your right or alternatively by clicking here.
The archive allows anyone who is interested to leaf back through our older news items, which span all the way back to our creation in 2004. These have all been faithfully ported from our old news system, with only now-defunct links being modified in any way (up to date versions of the original links have been found where possible in such instances).
Whilst we have always stored all news items since our very first, they have never been made publically available prior to today - so we are happy to be offering everyone the chance to read this content for the first time since each item was originally posted, with over 211 items being available in total at the present time - which will obviously grow as time passes and new items are written.
Making our history more publically available is something that we are very keen to do moving forward, and this is only the first of several projects in the works to that end. Look out for more to come on this front in the near future!

The official SSX Platoon has gone up in Battlefield 3's Battlelog system!
I know that a number of us have been waiting a long time for this game, and we even had a couple people in the alpha test. Now that the game has finally gone gold, I'm sure that we'll have some great times working together as a squad!
If you would like to use voice chat, Avapops has a server available for us to use. Please contact him for the details.
See you at the insertion point!

Since many of us here have pre-ordered the Collector's Edition of The Old Republic I am sure some of you will be excited to hear that this weeks friday update from BioWare is an unboxing video displaying the many sexy contents of the CE.
To watch the video click here.
Also this week a number of the gaming press were let loose ingame and got hands-on with the Republic side of the game. They were able to play up to approximately level 15 when players receive their starship so over the next few days expect to see many beta impression articles & info popping up around the net.
Darth Hater have a handy coverage list of these articles on their site here.

Today we are pleased to announce the launch of a new killboard system for the SSX-EvE Online group. Having paid for their own externally hosted killboard up until today, we are glad to finally be able to bring the system in-house thanks to our recent change of server.
The killboard can be found here, and we invite all members to keep track of the ongoing success of the group by visiting.
We hope that the group enjoys using their new killboard, and that it will be of great use to them going forward.

It was previously announced that TOR would be released on Dec 20th in the US and Dec 22nd in Europe, however, BioWare have today announced that the game will be releasing simultaneously in both territories on Dec 20th instead.
Those who have pre-ordered and redeemed their keys before release will of course still receive early access.
The game can't come sooner!

This years Arbiter elections have now concluded folks.
The last stretch was extremely close with Mechanus, Messiah & Stracius all tied with 4 votes each but Mechanus just snagged it with the last deciding vote taking him ahead. He has thus taken over as the SSX Arbiter for the next 12 months. God help us (hehe :p).
Thanks go to Stracius who has held the position for the past couple of years, to all other candidates for taking part and everyone else who took time out of their schedules to vote.
Congratulations Mech & good luck!

Now that we have a place to discuss all things TOR without cluttering the general forum it's probably best that we discuss some important topics in advance of us moving ingame.
Just a few of those will be deciding whether we leave our Sith guild on a EU server or we switch it to a US one, discussing the guilds focus (progression etc.), making a note of who has pre-ordered (or will be playing for definite) and covering our ingame moderators for both EU & US.
Please drop by the new forum when you have a few moments to spare and lend your thoughts. Some of the above discussions have already been opened and chances are we will have some more things to talk in the coming weeks to try and make sure our new group goes as smoothly as possible. There's still plenty of time left before launch though so there's no rush. Also if you have anything yourself that you think we should discuss feel free to post.

Yes, you read that right.
Secretly in development and underwraps for quite some time it is now my pleasure to announce the launch of our new group website for Star Wars: The Old Republic. You can find it by clicking here!

Since we moved to our new webserver almost a month ago now, the administrative team has been hard at work on a variety of projects with the aim of improving upon and expanding the functionality of our website. Today we're happy to announce the launch of the first of those projects - a revamp of our Screenshot System.
As you'll be able to see from our "Screenshot of the Day" to the left, and also through our (new) Gallery link in the navigation above, we've replaced the old 'popup' system of browsing our screenshots with a Lightbox system. The size of image thumbnails have been increased alongside this, and the means of switching between different Groups' screenshots within the Gallery has also been completely redeveloped allowing for much easier browsing and filtering down to what you want to look at.
We've also dug around and unearthed some new screenshots that were not included in the old system - all of which have now been added into the Gallery. There are 155 new images, bringing the Gallery to a count of 591 images in total divided amongst our respective groups.
All feedback on the new system is, as always, most welcome. Should you have any, please post it here.
Thanks go to SSX-MS for his help on this project, both in working to produce our new thumbnails and providing images/design assistance where necessary.
As mentioned earlier, this is only the first of several ongoing administrative projects - so keep your eyes on the site in the coming weeks!
